Telecommunication
NS D36 slowed pretty hard after Galesville, as it had to enter the siding at Lodge. Nearly a mile farther down the siding, it would meet with NS D17. That meet was rather helpful, as I would not have caught the short train as easily as I did. Too bad I couldn't get that meet at, say, Osman, where I was really hoping to catch it in the first place... ah, well. Lodge will have to do - and it did do fine, but man, it still just isn't the same without the old elevator.
NS6407 & 6406 ran their train through the siding pretty slowly, giving me more than enough time to reach the Monticello intermediate. That worked out pretty well, I have to say. As always with Lodge, take a nice peek at the old codeline on the right, note the way it rises and falls behind the train there. That was to make room for the old highway bridge that once went over the old Wabash main.
